Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes Wedding - Samantha & Justin - Orlando, FL

As a wedding photographer, I get to witness some of the most beautiful love stories, and Samantha and Justin's wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes was no exception. The couple's love story began in high school, and it was clear that their love had only grown stronger over the years.

The big day began early in the morning, as the bride and her bridesmaids got ready in their hotel room. Samantha looked absolutely stunning in her lace fitted gown, while Justin looked dashing in his blue suit. The bridesmaids wore long burgundy dresses, which perfectly complemented the wedding colors of burgundy and royal blue.

As the wedding planner, Blush by Brandee Gaar, worked her magic, everything came together seamlessly. The ceremony was set up outside under a white pergola by a beautiful lake, and it was decorated with flowers and greenery. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and it made for the perfect backdrop for the couple's special day.

As the ceremony began, the bride walked down the aisle with her father, and the groom was clearly overwhelmed with emotion. The vows were heartfelt, and it was evident that the couple was meant to be together forever.

After the ceremony, it was time to celebrate! The reception was held in the ballroom, which had been decorated beautifully. They had acrylic table numbers that added a modern touch, and there was a mix of high and low centerpieces that made the room feel intimate yet grand. The live band kept everyone dancing the night away, and the energy in the room was contagious.

One of the highlights of the night was the bubble exit. As the couple made their way out of the ballroom, guests blew bubbles that created a magical atmosphere. It was the perfect way to end a night filled with love and joy.

As a photographer, I had the privilege of capturing every moment of Samantha and Justin's special day. From the first kiss to the last dance, every moment was filled with laughter, love, and happiness. It was an honor to be a part of their love story, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have captured these memories that will last a lifetime.
